The Volvo 240 Oxygen Sensor is continuously measuring the exhaust oxygen, thus enabling the engine to maintain the ideal air fuel ratio to make clean power and low emissions. This sensor is made using a stainless steel shell, a platinum coated zirconium tip, and a ceramic heater, which warms up to operating temperature in a few seconds, and it is known to have rock solid reliability over thousands of heat cycles. Regardless of whether your vehicle is a 242 coupe, 244 sedan, or 245 wagon, the sensor fits into the same upstream port and connects to the factory harness, enabling drivers to have the same feedback throughout the 240 family. Since the control unit is based on the voltage change between about 0.1 and 0.9 volts, the signal from the Oxygen Sensor allows the computer to adjust injector pulse width on the fly, which helps to increase fuel economy, reduce smog, and keep spark plugs clean. The unit also protects the catalytic converter from becoming overheated by keeping the mixture close to stoichiometric, which boosts the famed reputation of Volvo cars and minimizes the possibility of roadside failures. Subsequent three and four wire models have an improved heater circuit which maintains a feedback loop when freezing commences, and twin vents allow fresh air to the sensing cell so that consistent readings are obtained at any altitude. This intelligent design, which has been tested over decades of Volvo road cars, can assist in maintaining stable idle, quick throttle reaction, and a prolonged life of engine components which would otherwise be harmed by carbon buildup. An Oxygen Sensor that is slow causes an increase in mixture richness, illuminates the check engine light, and burns fuel, and replacing it with a new one returns the rich to lean ratio that made the 240 a legend among low cost enthusiasts. This miniature component is what drivers adore since it maintains the original Volvo driving experience without going too far with emissions and demonstrates that in certain cases the small parts can be a significant in terms of effectiveness and safety.
